Taylor Swift pays tribute to Dolly Parton:
“A world without Dolly doesn’t feel possible, real, or right. But because of the eternally generous way she spent her time on this earth and the countless lives she changed for the better, her legacy will be an everlasting one. She was truly the gift that kept on giving. Dolly gave us someone to look up to while encouraging us to be who we are as individuals. Somehow she was able to give us her lessons about the world gently and honestly, simultaneously, and oftentimes hilariously. She managed to give the world the ultimate mystery and fantasy in some corners of her life, but to give full transparency in the ways that counted. Somehow she was true grace and true grit, all in one dazzling person. She possessed the softest heart when it came to the struggles of others, and a backbone of steel to defend her own self worth as an artist. Along with her other fans, I am so grateful for all of it. For the melodies and lyrics she wrote that thawed even the coldest hearts. For the millions of books she provided children all over the world so that they might fall in love with stories the way she did. For the tightropes she walked so that young girls like me could grow up dreaming of joining the circus too.
Dolly, I’ll think of you each step of the way.”
Dolly Parton was one of the great entertainers of our era. She was not only a talented musician & songwriter, but a lifelong philanthropist and advocate for literacy, education, LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare and disaster relief.
Her music and humanity touched millions. She will be sorely missed.
BREAKING: MIC DROP! Democratic socialist candidate Francesca Hong DESTROYS her MAGA critics for smearing her as a "radical" by listing all of the truly "radical" things that Republicans push.
She put on an absolute clinic in political messaging...
“What’s radical is that we still have a $7.25 minimum wage. What’s radical is that Tom Tiffany is an election denier. What is radical is the fact that folks all across Wisconsin, many don’t have access to health care right now,” Hong said, after she was asked on NewsNation about her Republican opponent calling her “a radical trans activist."
Hong is running for the Wisconsin governorship, with her candidacy buoyed by rising support for democratic socialists across the country. Voters are fed up with Republican incompetence and criminality, but they're also tired of status quo, centrist, corporatist Democrats. Hong currently has a double-digit lead in the Democratic primary.
“Being able to make sure folks have what they need, when they need them from the state, is something that I believe many Wisconsinites have actually been telling me, that these are the things that they want to prioritize,” added Hong.
This is exactly the kind of messaging that Democrats should embrace. Republicans are trying to turn these upcoming elections into a referendum on "communism" to distract from Donald Trump's failed presidency and their own deranged radicalism.
The Republican Party is responsible for the most corrupt White House in American history. Its views on abortion rights and LGBTQ rights are profoundly out of step with the average voter. They are a pro-rapist, pro-pedophilia party as proven by their ongoing role in the Epstein coverup. They are the "Israel First" party and are funding this illegal war against Iran for the benefit of a foreign country. They want to make us all poorer and sicker by keeping wages depressed to benefit corporations while slashing Medicare and Medicaid.
Meanwhile, democratic socialists like Hong support free school meals, universal childcare, paid family leave, boosting education spending, raising the minimum wage, creating affordable housing, abolishing ICE, and pursuing moratoriums on AI data centers.
Those ideas only seem "radical" if you've been brainwashed by Fox News and Republican lies!
Please ❤️ and share if you'd vote for Hong!
@TomTiffanyWI thinks I’m not authentically Wisconsin? Unlike him, I was born here and have lived here my entire life. My son is in the same public school system I attended. I started a business here and founded 2 nonprofits. I also have multiple Wisconsin-themed tattoos!
